Time-Dependent Analysis of Paenarthrobacter nicotinovorans pAO1 Nicotine-Related Proteome.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Paenarthrobacter nicotinovorans is a soil Gram-positive nicotine-degrading microorganism (NDM) that harbors a 165 kb pAO1 catabolic megaplasmid. The nicotine catabolic genes on pAO1 have been sequenced, but not all the details on the regulation and interplay of this pathway with the general metabolism of the cell are available. To address this issue at the protein level, a time-based shotgun proteomics study was performed. P. nicotinovorans was grown in the presence or absence of nicotine, and the cells were harvested at three different time intervals: 7, 10, and 24 h after inoculation. The cells were lysed, separated on SDS-PAGE, and digested by in-gel digestion using trypsin, and the resulting peptide mixture was analyzed using nanoliquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. We found an extensive number of proteins that are both plasmidal- and chromosomal-encoded and that work together in the energetic metabolism via the Krebs cycle and nicotine pathway. These data provide insight into the adaptation of the bacterial cells to the nicotine metabolic intermediates and could serve as a basis for future attempts to genetically engineer the pAO1-encoded catabolic pathway for increased bioremediation efficiency or for the production of valuable chemicals. The mass-spectrometry-based proteomics data have been deposited to the PRIDE partner repository with the data set identifier PXD012577.
